This is Butty, our tup, and even though Anthony gave some very thorough warnings, he still managed to get himself headbutted away in the end. That's the joy of working with animals for you.

Our flock plays an important role on the farm. They follow the cattle round on our mob grazing system, eating the grass down a little bit further once the herd has moved on. Suffolk and Ryedale sheep, doing a proper job out in the fields.

Have you tried our new Egg Custard Tart yet?

They’re in all of our shops from today, and we’d love to know what you think. If you’ve already had one, leave us a comment below.

If not, pop into your local Appleton’s and give one a try – especially if you’re an Egg Custard Tart fan. We think ours is a little bit special.

They’re best enjoyed at room temperature, but if you prefer yours chilled, just pop it in the fridge when you get home.

Even better, they’re included in our meal deal. Buy one of our individual pies and an Egg Custard Tart, and you’ll get a free bag of crisps or a can of drink.

A big thank you to Lee for showing us how they’re made, and for doing such a great job!

If you’re going to spend good money on a proper steak, don’t ruin it with instant-light barbecue charcoal that’s soaked in chemicals and made from unsustainable timber.

Instead, get yourself some of this lumpwood charcoal from Yorkshire. It lights quickly, burns hot, and gives you the kind of heat you need for a proper crust on a great steak.

It’s also a much more sustainable choice, and at just £10 a bag, it’s brilliant value. You’ll easily get three or four steak cooks out of one bag.

It’s one of those small changes that makes a big difference – better flavour, better cooking, and better for the environment.

Has anyone tried our pork and beef ragù? It’s a classic, delicious dish with pasta, but if you’re looking for other ideas, go on.

Add a bit more spice and some beans and suddenly you’ve got a delicious chilli con carne.

Anyone else got suggestions for what you could do with a nice bit of our pork and beef mince ragù? Best ones in the comments, please.

New special on the counter… Pork & Sage! 🌿🐖

Some flavour combos never go out of fashion. Pork and sage have been making a cracking team since Roman times, so we thought we’d keep the tradition going.

Handmade by our butchers, packed with proper pork and plenty of sage. Simple, classic and seriously tasty.

Grab a pack while they’re on the counter!
